Natural Selection 2.0
Baba Brinkman

“Whoever is lead to believe that species are mutable, will do good service by conscientiously expressing his conviction, for only thus can the load of prejudice by which this subject is overwhelmed, be removed.”

Charles Darwin, Origin of Species


So what-ch-you know about Natural Selection? Go ahead

And ask a question and see where the answer gets you

Try bein’ passive aggressive or try smashin’ heads in

And see which tactic brings your plans to fruition

And if you have an explanation in mind, then you’re

Wastin’ your time, ‘cause the best watchmaker is blind

It takes a certain base kind of impatient mind

To explain away nature with “intelligent design”

But the truth shall set you free

From those useless superstitious beliefs

In a literal Adam and Eve, and that Edenic myth

‘Cause their family tree is showin’ some genetic drift

Take it from this bald-headed non-celibate monk

With the lyrical equivalent of an elephant’s trunk

It’s time to elevate your mind-state

And celebrate your kinship with the primates


The weak and the strong, who got it goin’ on?

We lived in the dark for so long

The weak and the strong, Darwin got it goin’ on

Creationism is dead wrong


“The view which most naturalists entertain…namely that each species has been independently created, is erroneous.”

Charles Darwin, Origin of Species


Okay, it’s time to reveal my identity

I’m the manifestation of tens of millions

Of centuries of sexual selection, best believe

I’m the best of the best of the best of the best

Of generations of competitive pressure genetically

But don’t get upset, ‘cause we’ve got the same pedigree

You and I will find a common ancestor eventually

If we rewind geological time regressively

And I could say the same for this hibiscus tree

And this lizard and this flea and this sesame seed

And if you still disbelieve in what your senses perceive

Then I could even use this rhyme as a remedy

‘Cause there’s so much variation in the styles in this industry

And differential survival when the people listening

Decide what they’re into and what really isn’t interesting

You could thrive like Timberlake on a Timberland beat

Or go extinct like Vanilla Ice and N’Sync

It’s survival of the fittest, but fitness is a tricky thing

It changes from place to place and from winter to spring


But the real question in this social-scientific simile

Is heredity, whether we inherit our techniques

From our predecessors, or invent them independently

But then we’re talkin’ memes and that’s a different thing

Richard Dawkins can I get a proper definition please?


The weak and the strong, who got it goin’ on?

We lived in the dark for so long

The weak and the strong, Darwin got it goin’ on

Creationism is dead wrong

The weak and the strong, who got it goin’ on?

Whoever leaves the most spawn

The weak and the strong, Darwin got it goin’ on

Creationism is… erroneous


I hear some people complain, like “I don’t wanna be an ape!

I never came from monkey DNA!

I believe God made me in a day – Jesus saves!”

Or maybe God uses evolution when He creates?!

Either way, nothing as advanced

And beautiful and intricate as the cosmic dance

Of evolution could possibly happen by chance

We must’ve descended from quadrupeds because of God’s plans!

Stop that – Darwin’s actual theory is

Not chance, and if you think it is you’re delirious

In the non-random survival of random variants

Over time, chance is insufficient but necessary

So intelligent design is impossible

Unless that intelligence is a product of the whole

Such as your own – there’s no God in control

If higher complexity always evolves from low

So let it go! We came from the war of nature

From struggles among fighters, feeders, and fornicators

And we’re nothing but genetic storage containers

And so what? Fuck it, I’m done with you Darwin-haters


The weak and the strong, who got it goin’ on

We lived in the dark for so long

The weak and the strong, Darwin got it goin’ on

Creationism is dead wrong

The weak and the strong, who got it goin’ on?

Whoever leaves the most spawn

The weak and the strong, Darwin got it goin’ on

Creationism is dead wrong
